Has anyone tried to make their own plywood LARGER perches? plywood with 2 holes drilled either end and zip tied to cage itself to support it?

Had that problem with another one of these foldable cages. Did the plywood but it did not take cat claws long to get splinters :-( So, I went to Lowes and bought one plank of that plastic decking and cut to size. Screwed in metal L brackets and I was in business. I went one step further and made one big ledge that covered the whole cage in the middle and cut a hole big enough for them to jump through. The planking is that sturdy! This allows a much bigger lounging ledge.

I have mine hanging from a screw in hook... I suppose a nail would work also. The birds really like this.

I downsized my cages to this. I think it might work for you. I read that someone keeos their 2 cockatiels in this cage. I wouldn't go larger then you conures

I made these with my Cub Scout den (7 nine year old boys). My husband helped and each boy had a parent to help him. My husband said you could use screws but would need per drilled holes. We have ours still in backyard and get birds making it their home every year for past 3 years! Good luck and have fun!

Even though I bought a large and a medium perch, I would think you should feel a warmth when you touch it, more towards the middle in a short period of time after being on. You can contact dawn@khmfg.com and she will answer any questions or problems you have. My large one broke where you connect to the cage and they replaced with no problem and were very nice and informative.

Hi, I stapled to plywood but is fairly thick and durable, I think it should glue nicely with plenty of spray glue or other, should smooth out nicely.

Yes, however I bought this cage for my cockatiel and it practically collapsed when trying to put it together.. I'm not sure if it's faulty, but it seemed the pieces didn't all fit together and I just had to lug the thing away to ship it back. I bought the one from Petco instead.. A little bit more, but it's legit.

I attached mine to an old piece of a cage siding, and then tied the extra cage piece to the inside of the breeding cage. I also glued a little hook to the top of the box and tied it to the cage. That helped to keep in steadier. I have a couple of the Petco Cockatiel Barn Roof cages that have one very high area. There was plenty of room for my budgie pair in the cage, even with the box sitting on the cage floor.

Yes. We have 4 of them glued on a piece of plywood. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it will fit.

My bird did not start using it until I connected it to his cage with a rope perch. I hung the type of toys from the top that he likes. Eventually he started playing with it. What type of birds do you have? How long have you had the stand?

Not unless you get the largest one....and only 1 Tiel! The largest one has the rust colored perches & feeders. The M101 is only big enough for Parakeets & Canaries...I have one of these cages in every size, lol. Best Wishes.

Seems like it'd be okay for two little parakeets (not English budgies), but I would switch out the plastic perch and add two smaller ones. The perch is too big and has no traction. Two weeks seems like a long time to keep them in this cage for hours on end. If the nighttime cage is bigger, I would try and use it as much as possible on the trip. My green cheek does well in this cage for a day trip, but the minute I get to my destination, I put him in my bigger, less portable "birdie hotel/nighttime" cage.

Sorry it took me so long to answer, there are little pegs on the bottom of its claws, and holes in the top of the perch, you just line it up, and make it fit.

Hi Kim, I (and my cat) love this perch. What kind of sill do you have...wood or ceramic? How narrow are you talking about? If it's wood, I would highly suggest that you use the screw option for the sill....it works very well and with the wall supports underneath the perch, plus the screws, it holds very well for my cat who is about 14 pounds. And if you move the sill, the holes can easily be filled with wood putty and stained, so no worries there, or if they are painted sills, again just filled and painted...again, no problem. I hope this helps. -Mark

Imo it's designed to be more of a self contained unit, but if you were willing to be creative and do some cutting you may be able to do it on top of a piece of furniture. I would try a different cage if you want one without legs/wheels., instead.

If you can afford bigger I would get one larger. I have this cage for my Timneh African Grey and once you add a few toys and perches it is quite cramped.
